Talking to Noah Screenwriter On Being an Eco-Wacko

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…me) that when I heard that The Bible App was reporting a 300% increase in numbers of people reading Genesis 6, I figured it was all due to pundits like myself doing last-minute exegesis. But who was I kidding, I still had questions about this unique Genesis interpretation. So why not go directly to the source? I enjoyed the interview you and Aronofsky did with Paul Raushenbush at the Huffington Post where you talked about your process of interpre…

An Open Letter to American Muslims on Election Day

By Haroon Moghul

…it matters if you vote. I don’t care if it’s 8:45pm in New York and there’s 15 minutes left. I care that you vote, not only because I believe it is a moral obligation to take any action, however small, that can change the world, but because of this simple truth. When you vote, you can say you voted. When pollsters ask how many Muslims voted, and the turnout is huge, like a flood, that we showed up, like all the news media said Latino voters did–“i…

3 Thoughts on Canada’s Proposed Ban on Religious Clothing

By Nathan Lean

…lation, it seems that at least three important points are glaringly absent. 1) If one supports, as a matter of principle, a government telling its citizens what they must not wear, logic follows that they would also support a government telling its citizens what they must wear. But it’s unlikely that those so vociferously opposed to Canadian Muslim women wearing the veil in the public workplace would cheer on the authoritarian governments of count…

Show Me the Way of the Hebrews: The Making of an African American Rabbi

By J. Lester Feder

…oup in her living room. It quickly grew, its ranks swelling with the large numbers of African Americans then pouring into Philadelphia from the South. In 1951, the group formally declared itself the Bethel Holy Commandment Church. As the name makes obvious, they were not yet a synagogue. Dailey’s daughter, Debra Bowen, became leader of Bethel after her mother’s death in 2001, and she is the official keeper of her legend. Bowen confessed in a rare…

An Extravagant Welcome For All: Believe Out Loud, a Faith-Based LGBT Campaign, Launches

By Peter Laarman

…and with powerful messaging lines, that was launched nationally on February 14—Valentine’s Day. The campaign will also offer on-the-ground organizing support to existing advocacy groups both inside and outside of denominational lines.

Why Do Evangelicals And Dems Want Immigration Reform?

By Daniel Schultz

…5 percent to 9 percent. The number of blacks, however, will grow only from 14 percent to 15 percent of the population, making them only half the size of the Hispanic population by 2050. The foreign-born percentage in the population will also grow, reflecting the growth of nonblack minorities. By 2050, about one in five Americans will be foreign born, up from one in eight today. … Hispanics also have historic ties to the Democrats, if not as stron…

New Poll Shows: White Evangelicals Are Still Dancing With the One That Brung ‘Em

By Anita Little

…seemed. Now we’re four months past the day he was elected, well into Season 1 of the worst reality show in existence, and it looks like white evangelicals are still dancing (probably off-beat) with the one that brung ’em. Though I wasn’t exactly astonished when 81 percent of white evangelicals voted for Trump, it has been alarming witnessing the steadfastness with which this pivotal base has been holding on to their president. I thought soon after…

The Most Ominous Promises Jeff Sessions Just Made to ADF Attorneys

By Sunnivie Brydum

…s to accommodate people of all faiths.” He makes no mention of the growing numbers of Americans who don’t subscribe to any faith, and in fact, in the entirety of his speech, never explicitly mentions any of the other constitutional rights guaranteed to Americans, or even those articulated in the First Amendment. That’s a telling omission in a speech that effectively lays out the federal Department of Justice’s priorities. To be fair, there is one…

Why Peter Beinart is Wrong on Democrats and Anti-Mormonism

By Joanna Brooks

…being emblematic of a grand national problem—be it polygamy during the late 19th century or racism and homophobia in the 21st—is anti-Mormonism. And, of course, using your MSNBC talk show to launch into random on-air diatribes against Mormonism time and time again is anti-Mormonism. (I’m looking at you, Larry O’Donnell.) But simple ignorance about Mormon culture and beliefs is not anti-Mormonism. Nor is respectful but rigorous analysis of a little…

New Poll Shows Evangelicals Vote Democrat Too

By Robert P. Jones

…on, and Joe Battaglia at Third Way, we found that evangelicals are actually 1/5 progressive, 1/3 moderate, and 1/2 conservative, a patter that held up even over hot-button social issues. These evangelical progressives and moderates make up half of evangelicals, 52 million adults. 3. There is an emerging movement among rank and file evangelicals to move beyond the narrow political issues of abortion and same-sex marriage. The American Values Survey…
